I just bought an used Dell Latitude D620. It has Windows XP in it. I would

Accessing the Dell support site (US), there are drivers for Windows 2000,
Vista and XP, there is no Windows 98.
In fact, after browsing many older latop models (Latitude, Inspiron,
Precision Mobile), I found NO Windows 98.

Could it be that there were such drivers, but Dell have stopped
providing them?

True,
But some time you can get drive updates,
by the mf. of the part..
Now the drivers for Windows 2000,
same time,
in the Zip.Exe.SetUp the updates drive,
for Windows 98 are there too..
Some Time a 95% are there...


Did Dell Latitude D series ever have Windows 98 drivers?
If yes, please tell me where I could find them.
There are thousand of spam sites pretending to provide drivers but .......

Thanks in advance!

First thing always "todo" is Back on your XP to D:\partition(2) So you can
do a Reinstall of A New XP in C:\partition(1) if needed, If the install of
Windows 98 Do not work we can always go back to XP...
Before Formatting C:\

Do not Format the DRIVE "0"
BUT partition(1)C:\
Do not Format partition(2)D:\

Real-Mode CD-ROM support
=================================
The Windows 98 Startup Disk includes generic ATAPI IDE & SCSI CD-ROM
drivers that allow your CD-ROM to function at MS-DOS

Now you need Guy 98
to help you partition(1)C:\

If you help with a Windows XP
We At:::

There are no drivers for Win9x/ME for the D620. Only Win2k, WinXP and
Vista.

Although I've already told the OP (in m.p.w98.gd because the OP
apparently multi-posted) that there are no win-98 drivers for the Intel
945GM / 945PM chipset (the chipset found in the D620), for the sake of
providing complete information I will mention here that several people
have taken the Intel driver Chipset Software Installation Utility
(Version: 6.3.0.1007 - Nov 2004) and have added or modified certain inf
files to include support for

- ICH7 chipsets 945/946/975/955/31/41
- Q963, Q/P/G965 and 925X/XE

This still may not do any good for someone with the mobile version of
the 945 chipset.

The 6.3.0.1007 version of the Intel file includes win-9x/me support for
915/915M chipset, and supposedly Intel withdrew either the availability
of this version of their utility, or removed win-98 support for 915/915M
in later releases of the utility.

A direct download link for these enhanced drivers is he

The rar file is password protected.

The password is "a" (no quotes).
